The Celtics will open next season Oct. 30, on the road, against the Toronto Raptors, two days before their home opener at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 1, against the Milwaukee Bucks.

The NBA schedule was released on Tuesday. It has the Celtics hosting the two-time defending champion Miami Heat just once, on March 19. Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and the Brooklyn Nets come to TD Garden on Jan. 26 and March 7. And former Celtics coach Doc Rivers returns with the Los Angeles Clippers on Dec. 11.

Boston does not play on Christmas Day, for the first time since the 2007-08 season.
